let THE BRIDGE TRUSTEES GO SLOWLf.
The first meeting of the rcappointed Bridge
Trustees will take place today. There Is only
ono new member. An important subject
sbould engage the Boards Immediate atten-
ton. At the last meeting there was haStly
adopted a plan for rcconstructing the New
York station, so as to change entlIeIy inc
method of switching trains and increase the
carving capacity Of the railway. The suDJcct
was left in tho hands of two Newly DIRK mem
hers of the Board, who were fully empowered
IN make the changes This is not matter
70 no entered upon without due consideration.
Tho principal feature Of the new scheme Is
that trains shall alternately arrive Mt and leave
ornosto sides of the same platform, which
makes il necessary for them to cross each
others tracks on approaching and departing.
THE TRIBUNE at once pointed out that there
was n grave element Of danger here, and sug
ccstcd that the increase OF facilities might DC
obtained by extending the entire station easO'
wardly, clcvating the promenade as was
MANNED in the change adopted by the Trustees.
I'm this way all the room required couiu DC
secured. >.
Since then the subject has been much dls-
cusscd "Thc Engineering Nows7 in parl'c-
ular has considered the question OF dar ger.
and finds it formidable. The calculations
which il makes show that the liability to col
Esion Of disastrous kind is not small ana
that tho factor of danger cannot be olm-
mated Now. is it not the duty of the Trustees
to devote little more time to the considera-
ton Of matter so important I All the hgh'
rossible should be obtained. 1t is not yet TOO
late for n rcorening Of the question. The pro
poscd changes will cost good deal oil money
and while money spent in getting tho most

The precedent set by Parliament on Friday
night is declared in special cable dispatch
to be extraordinary and even revolutionary.
Violent tactics were foreshadowed in these
dispatches few weeks ago, but it was not
expected that the Government would resort to
so drastic course Their purpose is largely
to throw the blame for obstruction on the
Irish members, in spite of Mr.. Parnells action
OIL Tuesday. Really the Tory party are not in
special haste to pass the Coercion bill What
the Irish members will do next Friday night
when the bill Is to be reported (and passedD,

One of the latest abuses discovered by Mayor
Hewitt is the ovcrcrowding Of prisoners In the
Blackwers Island Penitentiary. The regulations
allow one cell to each prisoner, but in fact there
are go prisoners to 500 cells. Two hundred OF
the prisoners are undergoing punishment for felo
mes, anu the Mayor, III his Letter to Recorder
Smythe suggests that these might have been sent
TO the State Prison. This would be simple
solution OF the difficulty, and our criminal judges
viii doubtless give due need to tie suggestion.

1t is beginning to be suspected that many OF
the serious fires which have occurred lately have
been incendions, though no positive evidence
pointing in that direction is known to exist save
in the case where the incendiarics confessed their
guilt and were promptly punished. But 1t Is one,
of the invariable results of wild and reckless
agitation and quarres between capital and labor
that the most impulsive and least intelligent people
set fired with bitter hatreds which are apt to
take shape in Those who set such movements
going cannot escape the responsibility for the
work that comes of their sinister suggestions, and
it would be well for the community IL the accounta-
bility were more direct and personal. 60

spent in sitting it out from the mass of ma
tcrial that made up Commissioner Reilly's
miscellaneous assortment.
In connection with his appeal to the public
touching the proposed cathedral, Bishop Pot
ter's address to the clergy and people of his
diocese will command attention. He suggests
that the cathedral be in some sort a memorial
10 his honored predecessor, hints at the en-
barrassment which the lack of a Bishops
church has caused, and while heartily urging
the cathedral plan, insists that the project
should not be allowed to interfere with the
regular work of the parishes. The idea OF a
cathedral worthy of the church and of the city
has been so well received that probably only
some vast unforeseen obstacle can hinder its
consummaton.
From what has been learned already it seems
hardly likely that the precise origin Of the fire
that destroyed the Havemo yer Company's sugar
refinery will be asc rtained. There are hints
that the place was set on fire, and Fire Marshal

Beating the Market Man.

The sample dodge is an old and mean
trick by which some sharpers In small
way beat the market man out Of dinner
now and then. If you stay here long
enough you'll see one of them. / usually
get from two to o dozen visits from them
every day. Many of them are men, old
men, usually, of respectable appearance,
though occasionally you find well
dressed woman in the business, and now
and then child. II is worked like this.
The sample fiend comes up when you are
not busy and tells you that he has not
laid in his winter stock OF vegetables yet.
Then he talks about different kinds of
potatoes and wants to see what we have
got. He takes potato out of each bar
rel, says he'll try them all and see which
he likes best, and moves coolly off. OF
course we never see him again.
Now that seems like very small kind
of confidence game for grown people to
be at, doesn't itS But believe there are
scores of families who depend on Just such
little tricks for the chief part of their sus-
tenance. Anyway, we have lots OF them

beggars we would fire out Of here in q

may own a brown stone block and be able

The Resistance OF the Atmosphere.

From Prof Langley's illustrated pa

uary Century we quote as follows: '.Ev-
erybody has noticed that if we move q
fan gently, the air parts before it with
little effort, while IL we try to fan violent
", the same air is felt to react; yet il
we go on to say that if the motion is still
more violent, the atmosphere will resist
like solid, against which the fan, il
made of iron. would break in pieces,
this may seem to some an unexpected
property of the 'nimble' air through
which we move daily. Yet this is the
case, and if the motion is only so quick
that the air cannot get out of the way,
body hurled against it will rise in
temperature like shot striking an ar
mor-p plate. 1t is all question of speed,
and that of the meteorite is known to
be immense. One has been seen to fly
over this country from the Mississippi
to the Atlantic in an inappreciably short
time, probably in less than two minutes;

over fifty miles, the velocity with which

Where Politeness Paid.

In an ancient and very wealthy town near
Philadelphia live two brothers who began
life penniless, and are both unbelievably
illiterate for their age, their locality and
their time. One Is a master mason, one q
master carpenter, and they are between
40 and 90 years old. OF the two the ma
SON has decided advantage in person and
solid sense, and he has had little trade
competition to impede him. But poor and
struggling he is, and poor and struggling,
unless by miracle, he will remain till the
end Of the chapter, while the carpenter Is
the owner of several houses that rent for
high price, and might, il he pleased, live
henceforth at ease i'm his own artistic and
luxuriously equipped house.
The whole secret is in the carpenters
scrupulously polite manner. No patron
was too Insignificant for him to try to
please. When summoned to a consulta-
ton his shoes were carefully scrubbed at
the door, his hat came off his head the in
slant he was inside the house, and re-
manned off, and especially If his employer
were feminine was it treat to watch him
receive her instructions, listen deferentially
to her suggestions, enter into her views
with respectful appreciation, follow her

spain's Hard.worked Queen.

The Queen Regent of Spain is proba-
bly, the most overworked woman in her
dominions. She rises at z, and as soon
as she has made her toilet she sends for
her little son and the members of the
royal family, and spenGs an hour or so
with them. At 9 she attends to her
household affairs, goes over her &C
counts, gives her orders for the day,
reads her letters, glances through the
newspapers. and is ready by 10 or lit
tie after to receive the report of the Cap
tain General of the garrison. He is
succeeded by the Prime Minister. who
has a long interview with the Queen on
affairs of state every day but Monday,
when she presides at Cabinet council
instead. AT IL the royal family sit down
to dejeuner, at which meal the little
king always assists-though only as a
spectator, of course. At 2 one Of the
Ministers presents himself with the de-
crees and state papers of different kinds
which wait her signature. Twice a
week she holds levee, and it is rarely
over before 6. The other days she takes
drive without an escort or any other
show of state. After dinner the royal
party amuse themselves with cards, or
talk literature and art with Count Nor
ply, who is an accomplished musician,
and at IL the Queen rctires to seek the
rest to which she is so well entitled aft
er her fatiguing days work.
